    I suggest you splurge on a really nice bra that is padded and lifts! Since losing weight, all my bras are too big for me now and I have dropped a cup and half! The most depressing part of weight loss.

    Yeah at this point it's a decision. Lean out = lose boobs, keep fat = keep some of them.

    (Don't feel bad. Many times, I've asked about things I knew couldn't be true, but really, really wanted to be, hoping for one little anecdote to fuel more hope.)

    I'm pear shaped so my boobs were the first to go. It's worth the money to invest in a good push up bra.

    Boobs and butt...first areas to go. At least with the butt you can tone it and tighten it and work the muscles. With boobs there is nothing you can do besides a good push up bra or boob job lol.

    From the male perspective, I think that the ladies worry about this much more than we do. Why worry about some arbitrary measurement number? Just be proud of yourselves for being healthy, ladies. Be yourself, and be content.

    I think my last couple of pound came entirely out of my bra. I took that as a hint that I was probably getting to where I should be when it comes to body fat, so I have shifted to more of a maintenance calorie level.

    Push up bra! Those are great because it adds some oomph and makes em jiggly.

    Can we trade? I always end up with a bigger cup size when I lose a significant amount of weight. :angry:

    That is something I don't want to lose either. Although your body is going to lose fat as a whole there are things out there to help enhance losing more water weight around butt and thighs and even waist! So Zaggora came out with a blazer that has a mesh cloth around the breast so they arent affected as much as the rest of the upper body. Look into "Zaggora Full Body Blazer". I have yet to purchase one, although I am seriously considering. :)

    This is happening to me too, since this is the first time I'm actually losing fat and not muscle tissue. It's depressing. I've bee doing lots of pushups and chest flys to try to firm up the muscle a bit. At least they'll be perky....

    Try strength training, can't promise it will work but it won't hurt to try. When I lost 25 pounds at age 20, mine got pretty small (not that they were big to begin with). When I gained weight, they went from a 34B to a 36C. That's the biggest they'd ever been. I literally prayed that I could "keep them" when I lost weight this time lol! I've lost over 30 pounds so far. I was a 36C December 2011. When I got resized in January of this year, I was a 34DD! I don't look like a DD (and i didn't believe her). Losing the weight around my back plus toning the muscle under my breasts has helped them to look bigger.

    Note: I don't think they really are any bigger than they were before. I just think they stayed the same while everything else got smaller. The way they figure out your cup size is taking the fullest part of your breasts minus either the top or bottom of your breasts (depends on where you go). So it makes since you'd appear to "grow" even though you're smaller.

    Hope this helped!

    I partially agree with this but I think you can work the upper body muscles as well. I found that push-ups and bench presses really helped firm up my chest, which keeps everything perky :)

    do strength training instead. You still burn calories and you'll tone the muscles around your tits instead of just having sag.

    I learned this the hard way. Too much cardio not enough push ups. luckily I'm not trying to be a porn star else I'd need fake boobs.

    One thing to consider is that bras are designed to fit very snugly to your body. So, it is the easiest place to notice fat loss.

    I've come to the realization that I will just have to get surgery. I have lost volume (but they are still large), but due to the lost in volume, they are even saggier and droopier. Also, due to less volume, the stretch marks around the tops of them are very noticeable now. (Just like when someone is pregnant, you can see the stretch marks on their stretched out stomach, but once they lose the weight, the stretch marks are rippled and loose....that's what mine have done) :( Nothing I can do but continue to work on my body, and once I am there, have surgery to correct them if I wish. They are a HUGE self-esteem killer for me.

    Not a stupid question! It's just part of weight loss. All you can really do is do chest exercises to tone the muscles in that area and give them a little more definition, but it won't increase your cup size. Your boobs will go smaller, but you'll prevent them from sagging. Small perky boobs are good!

    And anyways, Ann Summers and Victoria's Secret have some really good bras to knock them up a few sizes :laugh:
